'The Old Man and the Gun' tells the real story of Forrrest Tucker, a bank thief who managed to break out of prison up to eighteen times. This film takes us to Tucker's life when he is already in a residence for the elderly and has left behind his bad life after finally finding love in the arms of a woman called Pearl. However, when one day he sees detective John Hunt on a TV program, the ex-thief remembers better times and realizes he can't leave this world without performing one last big hit that gives some emotion to his boring life.
